What is it with us and cars???
AARGH!!!
Looks like the boys will be late to school today. Tuesday afternoon Simon drove John's car home from school. As he pulled into the driveway Shane asked "Dad is there supposed to be greenish liquid running out of the front of the car?" John jumped out and had a look, the bottom of the radiator had sprung a leak. So off to the mechanic yesterday morning. The plan was to pick it up this morning as soon as John got home from work, giving me time to then drive the boys to school. But...John just rang, delayed with a meeting at work, so no idea what time he'll get home.
This is why we have 2 cars LOL but it would be nice if they were both working all the time.
On a side note a family man, in his 40s, living in Parafield Gardens and working night shift won $15,000,000 on Tuesday night in the lotto. Pity John fits the description, but it wasn't him.

Ok...It's Official!!!
My BLOG is BORING!!!!
So today I will give it some thought, who knows what I may think of while grocery shopping LOL. That, after all, is such a mind numbing task.
Meanwhile, same old same old....school run, housework and grocery shopping. BORING.
We do have our final ever Little Athletics Home Competition tonight, then just next weekend to suffer through the State Championships and I get my weekends back :)

I have wheels again
We picked up my Kia last night and it is running nicely. Our friendly mechanic says it should definitely last the next few years with its refurbished engine. We are just over $4000 poorer, so that is not a good thing. We really only NEED the second car for another couple of years while the boys are in school, so if we can hang out till then we can trade both cars in then for one nice car. Right now we don't want to buy ourselves anymore debt so we'll see what the next few months bring with the Kia. If it even looks like playing up we'll get rid of it.
Today we are off again to athletics. Simon, Shane and I will walk over to Little Athletics this morning, then Simon has Seniors Championships this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon. Busy weekend for him.
The house is tidy, all washing and ironing is done. I NEED more sleep, but that wasn't happening so I got up at 4.30am. More stitching time I guess LOL. I'll stitch till athletics and then stitch the afternoon away too.
John had a check up at the hospital yesterday. His specialist said "Your kidney is happy in its new home." Hopefully it continues to be happy :)
On Tuesday he has to change one of his main medications and go onto a long term immunosuppressant. The first dose is 15 tablets (plus the others he takes already) after that it is 5 tablets a day, plus whatever others he takes, I've lost count.
My ankle and foot started hurting again last night after cracking during the day yesterday, not as bad as before, but not as good as it was after the injections. Today will be a good test walking around at athletics for a couple of hours, then I'll let the specialist know in April if it is still a problem.
I finally booked in to have my wisdom teeth removed - OUCH. April 17th as a day surgery. Definitely not looking forward to that, but it needs to be done.

March already!!!
Hard to believe it is already March 1st. I am still doing the same old, same old - housework, stitching, driving kids to school or actually getting driven now, I am just needed as the supervising driver and to get the car home again LOL.
Off to the school run this morning, followed by my least favourite task....grocery shopping. Now if I am smart I will actually remember to take my list.
John has been waking up at midday, so he'll probably do the same today and we'll head off to pay the mortgage and pick up fresh fruit and vegetables.
I am still car-less, awaiting the final bill. Still debating if we should keep the Kia for the next 2.5 years, since after that we won't need a second car, the boys will be finished with school. If we trade the Kia now we won't get much for it, lousy resale value, so will end up with more debt for another car and who knows what problems we might buy next time. If we hang out for 2.5 years we can trade both current cars and get a nice, smaller car we can share. Decisions, decisions!!
